This can make me look forward to winter. That's not easy to do to me!

Great production and the ending is heavy...

このスムーズでリズミカルなグルーヴは聴いていて本当に気持ちい〜です。

"Soaring melancholy and  powerful wistfulness...a fab song"
David Quantick

The song is all about someone who can’t sleep because of all the worries racing around their head. But it’s a positive song- the person finds a deep connection with something beyond themselves that lifts them out of the horrible moment.

nettle seeds (copyright Jo Richter)

he got locked out of her garden
before this springtime's floral bloom
as he saw her soft glance harden
saw different patterns on her loom

he found some fallow, barren wasteland
on a hill of thistles, nettles
to cultivate defiant plants and
to get scarred by willful brambles

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

haggard, thin and somewhat healthy
his medicine was on demand
to overcome fatigue and palsy
when there is nothing left to want

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

A new song........ "If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end."            Bayard Rustin

Lyrics:

Precious are the words we whisper in the night
Freedom and democracy the promises of light
They hang in quiet corners of every day
Like old porch flags folding when the children run away
Before we even notice, they can slip from our hands
Slipping like the shoreline, changing where we stand

Hold them close, don't let them go
Sing them loud when the winds of doubt blow
Freedom and democracy fragile burning sparks 
Tend the embers in your palm, keep them bright against the dark

Many fought and fell on fields we hardly name
Letters in a drawer, and photographs in frame
Many live without the chains that once bound the rest
Because someone kept the vigil and gave their very best
Taken for granted by carelessness and the cold
But worth the stories told, worth the blood and worth the gold

Teach your children gently how to guard the flame
How to argue with kindness, how to call a name
Cherish every small right, tend the garden with your hands
Don’t let silence be the landlord of these promised lands
Before the dawn is stolen, before the bell is broken
Let every honest heart be heard, every vow be spoken
                                                    
                                   Precious are the words, say them like a prayer
Carry them like candles through the cold thin air
We are the keepers of the light; we are the chosen ones
To protect them and cherish them, before they are gone, before we lose them

Ok, so I had to use Garage Band to layer in the vocals and have a more realized version of this great song. I used a Roland vocoder, and had a blast making it. I want people to have a blast listening to it.

■概要(Overview)
勇気を出して気持ちを伝えてみよう！・・そんな感じの曲です。
長く使っているオーディオインターフェース(UA-4FX)の調子が悪いので、買い替える事になりました。この曲はUA-4FXを使って作った、最後の曲です。寂しいな。次回からは新しい機材です。
※絵はAIに描いてもらいました

Gather up the courage to express your feelings! That's the kind of song it is.
My audio interface (UA-4FX) that I've been using for a long time is malfunctioning, so I've decided to buy a new one. This is the last song I made using the UA-4FX. I'll be sad. From next time onwards, I'll be using new equipment.

■歌詞
「ちぎった今を」
冷たい冬が来る前に
積もり積もった気持ちを伝えよう

乾いたのどを潤した夏の水
空っ風に吹かれ消えてしまうさ
泳ぎ切った日の事は遠く幻で
その人の顔も忘れてしまう

失うことは怖すぎるね
いっそ秋の風の吹く方にまかせ
上手くいかないと決まった訳じゃない
天国なのか地獄かなんか　風に聞くさ


変わってしまう景色なら
今をちぎって　届けよう気持ちを

人の気持ちはわからないさ
きっと秋の空のように変わる
立ち上がる時さ勇気ふり絞って
ちぎった今を届けたならば強くなれる

ああ　時を　巻き戻せたなら
ああ　今を　生きる　
今を・・

■Lyrics (translation)
"Before Winter Comes"
Before the cold of winter arrives,
Let me tell you the feelings you've kept buried deep.
The summer water that once soothed your thirsty throat
Will be swept away by the dry winter wind.
The day you swam through it all now feels like a distant dream,
Even that person’s face begins to fade.
Losing something is terrifying, isn’t it?
So maybe just follow the direction of the autumn breeze.
It’s not like failure is already decided—
Whether it’s heaven or hell, ask the wind.
If the scenery around you is bound to change,
Then tear off this moment and send your heart with it.
You can’t always understand someone’s feelings,
They shift like the autumn sky.
But when it’s time to rise again, summon your courage—
If you deliver that torn moment, you’ll grow stronger.
Ah, if only I could rewind time...
Ah, I’ll live this moment—
This moment...

Before Winter Comes（ちぎった今を）

Pulling us under

Première pensée   (Translated after French text )
Vidéo :  https://youtu.be/NYPOfarT2w0
Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

Dans le vase de mon cœur
L’amour est à ras bord.
Dans le tien, une fleur
T'offre une nouvelle aurore.
Dans le sol de mon cœur
S’est ouverte une crevasse.
Le tien, d’heure en heure,
Se durcit et se tasse.
Dans la salle de bain
Où j'me rends présentable,
Je n'me trouve plus aimable
Et je te cherche en vain.
Mes yeux n’ont pas compris,
Immobiles dans la glace,
Butés comme des impasses,
Et ce corps inutile...
Quand viendra-t-il ce jour
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton langage,
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton visage,
Où ma première pensée
Sera d'boire un café ?
Je voudrais comme toi
Etre hors la loi d’amour,
Mais je suis condamnée
A te faire vivre toujours.
Je voudrais comme toi
Faire juste un demi-tour
Et t’avoir oublié.
Dis-moi comment tu fais.


First thought

In the vase of my heart
Love is overflowing.
In yours, a flower
Offers you a new dawn.
In the soil of my heart
A crack has opened.
Yours, hour by hour,
Hardens and settles.
In the bathroom
Where I make myself presentable,
I no longer find myself lovable
And I search for you in vain.
My eyes have not understood,
Motionless in the mirror,
Stubborn like dead ends,
And this useless body...
When will that day come
When my first thought
Will not be of you,
When my first thought
Will not be your face,
When my first thought
Will be to drink a coffee?
I would like, like you,
To be outside the law of love,
But I am condemned
To keep you alive forever.
I would like, like you,
To just turn around
And forget you.
Tell me how you do it.

Quoting Statement 052 by Per Bronco Karlsson. The lyrics are a quote from The Employees by Olga Ravn.

Quoting Statement 052

I had left the pastorate in 1985 but many friends remained in the little town of St. Francis, Kansas.  One of them was a woman who found love again after the death of her spouse.  I composed this song for them and officiated their wedding and as far as I know, they lived happily ever after.  
Then came the wedding of my oldest daughter and she requested the song be done for her and Thor (yes, his real name;) That was 27 years ago.  
This past summer, I had suggested the song to Axel and after hearing my rough, 35 year old demo, he loved the song straight away, but wanted to change it up a bit.  The song I had written was done in a more devotional 4/4 meter, he wanted to bring to it the flavor of a Celtic dance.  Enter Mike Fox who gives the lyrics a definitive voice and excellent guitar to the backing track.  I loved the track art Axel had created because it resembled the wedding of my 2nd granddaughter Grace at the end of September, a lovely garden ceremony in Oklahoma City.  It resembles it right down to the kilt another son-in-law wore by request.  They didn't use the song as part of their ceremony, but I dedicate this new version to Grace and Ethan and wish them a lifetime of happiness and fond adventures together.
Thank you Axel and Mike for lavishing your talents on my songwriting efforts.  I am truly honored.  Hear more of their fabulous music creativity @soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973, and @soundcloud.com/michael-fox-925325997

Gathered--Lyrics:
 What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until 
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Repeat Verse:
What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Gathered-A Wedding Song (Axel Menningen, Mike Fox, David Dunham)

Cast of Characters:

Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – acoustic guitar, synth, and composition

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- vocals, lyrics, mix, and production

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless Warwick bass

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano, B3 synth voice, synth sax, and JJ's angels (voice synth)

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– master and production

This song started as a project that was begun on his guitar and synth, then shelved by our master songwriter, Chris. He always gives us magic to work with, and as soon as he shared this one with the rest of Eclectic Collective, we all jumped on it.

Mark heard his part first, and set about writing some great lyrics to sing with his solid, inimitable voice. His lyrics are about a hypothetical future where we've turned to technology in search of human connection, only to realize that it has only isolated us more, and that we really already had that connection to begin with. The narration is from a future perspective, like all this has already happened, and its speaking to us from the future, almost like a warning.
The rhythm section was still absent, though, but not for long. Ken added his groovy, perfectly in the vibe drums to it next. Josh, of course followed soon after, now that he had drums to work with, by adding his fretless four string bass to the song. Now that it was sounding like a well rounded piece, Tez came through with some thrilling guitar solos that you hear throughout. JJ first added some piano, B3, and sax to the song, then later completed it with his psychedelic synth and divine voice synth that provides the "choir" you hear in there.

Now that it was all in the bag, Mark spent considerable time and effort mixing it, then turned it over to our resident pro Stephen for the mastering.

This is one of our favorite songs we've ever done, and it reminds us all of both Pink Floyd and King Crimson. This is a great example of what the team is able to do with a really solid, yet open musical seed, provided by a master composer. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Mistermark:
The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid at the back of your mind

how could I have been so blind?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems I've forgotten the way you like your tea

the house becomes quiet as the guests head for home

the garden’s been gathered and the kids are all grown

on their own

“The robots will help” they said “it’s better this way”
“there’s no need to work and there’s more time to play”

our leaders assured us we’d never go poor

and nobody questions the truth anymore

but what did we do it all for?

Our science sustains us like fine works of art

but are we closer together or farther apart?

we’re each on an island alone on the sea

the ocean between us expands rapidly

is this where we wanted to be?

It was so long ago now it’s just you and me

it seems we’ve forgotten the way it used to be

machines tried to help us but something went wrong

the future we wanted was here all along

The wind by the seashore, the wash of the waves

the sand on your skin and the glance that you gave

the sounds of the carnival we left it all behind

there were words left unsaid…
